Gender & Sexuality Studies

Welcome to the minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of West Georgia!

This interdisciplinary minor provides an academic forum for the examination of gender
and sexuality in contemporary and historical global cultures. It pursues the academic
study not only of sexual diversity but also of masculinity and femininity as culturally
and historically contingent phenomena. Hence, it appeals to an increasingly diverse
student population at UWG, including members of the LGBTQ community.

The minor attracts students who actively seek a comfortable, healthy, academic environment
to examine and discuss issues relevant to their self-definition and everyday lives.
It also creates a broad and formalized academic forum for educating the entire student
population and the greater Carrollton community about diversity in gender identity
and sexual orientation.

of the minor, approved courses, the faculty, and related organizations and events
